Bertolt Flick, President and CEO of airBaltic said: "airBaltic is working hard to expand its network of flights toward the east, and the new routes to Yerevan and Almaty will be just one part of our strategy of being more active in the region. These two cities will be added to our network of routes, which already offers nearly 20 destinations in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Azerbaijan."
Yerevan, which sits in the Ararat valley, is more than 1,000 years old and has a fascinating and diverse history. Various cultures have crossed paths here, and they have created a unique atmosphere in the city. Almaty is the largest city in Kazakhstan and served as the country’s capital until 1998. The city’s appearance has been shaped not only by varied traditions of history and culture, but also by its important role as Kazakhstan’s centre for business, finance and industry. airBaltic will fly from Riga to Yerevan three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays) and to Almaty twice a week (Thursdays and Sundays). Prices for one-way tickets will start at EUR 74 and EUR 145 respectively, including taxes and Internet transaction fee.
